A son making sure his intoxicated dad got home safely has received his first traffic ticket following a vehicle stop Wednesday evening.
Turns out the son was just 14-years-old.
Members of the Kelowna Integrated Road Safety Unit, stopped the Chevy Impala on Bartley Road near Capri Road shortly before 11 p.m. Wednesday evening.
The car, which had been observed leaving a liquor store nearby, was found to be a rental vehicle and had two occupants.
The 14-year-old West Kelowna boy was apparently acting as chauffeur and designated driver for his 47-year-old father, who happened to be under the influence of alcohol.
The boy was unlicenced to drive because one cannot obtain a British Columbia Learner's Licence until they are at least 16 years of age.
The rental car agreement showed the father listed as the only approved operator and the car was subsequently removed from the roadway for retrieval by the rental company.
The boy received a Violation Ticket for No Driver's Licence while his father was issued a Violation Ticket for Allowing an Unlicenced Minor To Drive.
